AUTOMOBILE DBIVERS SEAT.

Application led April 10, 1925. Serial No. 22,175.

the invention is to devise simple means whereby the seat can be adjusted in a forwardv or rearward direction to suit thc driver, so that the reach between the seat and lthe pedals of the car may be regulated according to the height of the driver, and it consists essentially of the arrangement and construction of parts hereinafter more particularly explained.

Fig. 1 is a plan view of my seat.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view oi liuc 2-2 Figure 1.

Fig. I3 is a sectional plan view on line 5-3 Figure 2. n

Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view on line 4-1 Figure 2i l In the drawings like characters of retfigure.

1 indicates the seat frame to which is hingedly connected in the usual manner the back 2.

4: isthe floor board of the car. 5` are standards secured in the floor board as indicated at'G, and extending upward therefrom and provided with forked upper ends 7.

8 is a U-shaped angle bar frame which is secured to the seat frame, the forwardly extending larms ofthe U being pivotally mounted in the fork 7 of the standards 5 by bolts 9. The vertical depending flanges of the U frame 8 are provided with longitudinal slots 10.

erence indicate corresponding parts in each 11. are supportssecured to the transverse vertical flange of the frame 8 as indicated at 12, see Figure 2, the lower ends of the supports 11 being threaded. v

13 are balls provided with internally `threaded orifices 14 into which the lower threaded ends of the supports 11 are screwed. B v this means the rearward and downward tilt of the seat may be adjustedto suit the driver. c y

15 are cross liars provided with flattened reduced portions, 16 slidably fitting within the slots 10. Oneof the portions 16 is provided 'with a threaded stem 17 ,extending outward therefrom, and upon which is screwed a wing nut 18, or anyy other suitable form of nut adapted to draw the `cross bar 15 longitudinally of itself, so that the shoulders located'at 15* are forced into clampingl contact wlth'the inner face of thc'vertical flangepof the frame 8. 4 4

19 are spacing bars, and 2() are bolts ex` tending from the seat frame 1, spacing hais 19 and transverse hars 15. y

llVhen it isdesired to adjust the seat either forward or rearward all it is necessary to do is to looseny the nut 18 and move the seat forward or rearward to the desired position, the reduced portions 16 sliding within the slots 10 during this operation.

What I claim as my invention is:

' In an automobile seat, the combination with the seat frame, of a U-shaped supplemental frame having longitudinally slotted side arms, standard supports upon which the ends of the side arms are pivotally mounted, transverse bars having reduced ends slidablewithin the slotted arms ofthe supplemental frame, menas for securing the transverse bars from moving within the slotted arms, and a support for the rear portion of the supplemental frame.
